6. Business Administration:
- Business administrators work across multiple industries in vital positions to help keep businesses
operating smoothly and profitably. It's a broad field that includes many careers, from project
managers to data analysts.
- Business success depends on knowledge, skills, and resilience to endure hardship. Most
programs in Business Administration programs teach students to become conscious and
responsible leaders who can manage interpersonal issues, adapt to a changing environment
quickly, and have a long-term vision (Rubens et al. 2). Furthermore, constant global economic
crises require young people to monitor the job market and adapt accordingly (Rubens et al. 4).
Future managers should possess a set of characteristics to become influential leaders.
Specifically, they should be emotionally intelligent, excellent communicators, and motivators; they
also need to be good at problem-solving, conflict management, and strategic planning (Rubens et
al. 8). Moreover, those who apply to BA programs should have leadership experience and a
clear understanding of their strength, weaknesses, and career goals

8. What are my
goals?

9. How to set goals
• A popular acronym can help you write effective goals. Try the SMART system for your career goal.
• Specific – Aim for a specific, concrete area for your goal or steps. For example, “make ten job search calls following up on my LinkedIn
connections” vs. “make some networking connections.”
• Measurable – To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as: how much? How many? How will I know when it is
accomplished?
• Attainable – Goals are most attainable when steps are thought out clearly and allow enough time. How do you intend to accomplish your
goal? Which actions follow on other actions? Is the goal realistic given where you’re starting from? It should be a challenge, but also
achievable.
• Relevant – A relevant goal is one that really matters to you and to the end result. Is it worthwhile? Is this the right time? Does your goal
relate to other efforts or timelines? Does it require resources that are currently available?
• Timely - A goal should be grounded within a defined time period, both for clarity and to give your action urgency. When do you want to
begin? When do you want to complete each step?

10. Plans on achieving my goals:
• Write down the steps. Write down your career goal and the steps to get there. This will
help you remember and achieve each step. Post your list where you will see it often.
• Set deadlines. Give yourself a date to complete your goals by. Write the date when you
finish each step.
• Reward yourself. Taking steps toward goals is hard work. Think of small rewards to give
yourself when you complete any step, to help you stay motivated.
• Have a goal partner. Find someone to help you stick to your plan: a friend, co-worker, a job
coach, or someone else. Discuss your goals and check in with them when you complete
steps. If possible, do the same for your partner!

11. Career Road Map

12. Where do I want to be in the next 5-10
years?
1. Get clear about your career goals. Take some time to brainstorm what your career goals are for the next five years. Do you want
to gain new skills? Are you interested in eventually moving into a managerial position? Do you want to work on projects? Are you
interested in working in a particular industry? You could also answer this question by thinking about what you’d like to see on
your resume in five years. Do you want to obtain certificates or hold a certain job title? Make a list of these aspirations.
2. Find connections between your goals and the job description. To help tie in your goals with the job you’re applying for, look at
the job description and see if you can find any traits and skills you already possess as well as those you want to get more
experience in. This will allow you to relate your goals to the position you’re applying for in the interview.
3. Ask yourself if the company can prepare you for your career goals. It’s important to be honest about whether the company
you’re applying with can prepare you for your career goals over the next five years. If it can’t, you may want to reconsider the
position or let the employer know up-front that you may not be with that company for at least five years.

13. My greatest contribution in the
company/business?
• Having the right skills and attitude is essential when applying to any program, I am a disciplined and
emotionally strong person. Moreover, I developed three skills that make me an ideal candidate for this
program. My first strength is excellent communication skills that I created by having an open
communication and building relationships with my people. Second, I possess emotional intelligence,
which helps identify people’s emotions, which is a helpful quality for any leader. The third skill that I
learned is motivating other people to perform well in our projects. Indeed, my most valuable lesson came
from my first time as a teacher manager, where I realized the value of teamwork and learned to
encourage every group member. I think these three skills are essential for building a team working hard to
create a successful company and to showcase your contribution. However, I want to learn more about
strategic planning; which is one of the essentials.
• To sum up, building a successful business demands extensive knowledge, leadership skills, and strength
to endure the difficulties of being a leader/entrepreneur. Although I gained some skills necessary for a
future leader, I still want to learn more about strategic planning to create a profitable firm that will always
provide value.
